New build in progress.
Bontrager race lite arrived from ebay this week. It was listed and I bought it on the basis of it being a race, but the headtube is milled so definitely a racelite.
The plan was to get it resprayed metallic blue or purple as those are my favourite bontrager colours, but the paintwork is in really good condition so that will have to wait.
I may not be able to resist replacing the panels with more modern bontrager ones.
Its going to get built up with M737 kit which various forum members have provided to me over the past week or so (thanks 2manyoranges, brocklanders, legrandfromage et al), tange switchblades and some nice ceramic rims which are on their way from france from the Yo Eddy currently on ebay.
Oddly I nearly bought this exact frame two years ago and only realised when I was going back over previous facebook correspondence. Small world.
Some place holder pictures for now:
